OVERVIEW
The Pathport® eDIN one-port node provides the
full functionality of other Pathport nodes, in a
compact, DIN-rail mountable format. System
integrators can now easily put a fully
customized universe of DMX where it’s needed.
Ideal for use in NEMA enclosures. Fully
compatible with other eDIN modules.
The Pathport eDIN features terminal strips that can be
removed from the card to facilitate easy wiring for auxil-
iary power and DMX. DMX can also be wired to an
RJ45 jack, while a second RJ45 jack is used for
Ethernet connection. Make the following connections,
WITH THE POWER TURNED OFF:
Power
The Pathport eDIN is designed to run on either Power-
over-Ethernet (PoE), or on an auxiliary power suppy
providing between 18 and 48 volts DC. The node will
draw 3 watts.
If an auxiliary supply is used, observe the polarity when
connecting V+ and V-. A second set of terminals are
provided so power may be daisy-chained to other cards.
These terminals are not energized when the node is run
on PoE. The EARTH GROUND terminal must be con-
nected to the enclosure’s chassis or electrical ground
terminal to ensure EMC compliance.
DMX - Terminal Strip
DMX connections consist of a shield and a data pair. A
optional second auxiliary data pair is also occasionally
employed. Connect DATA+ and DATA-, to D1+ and
D1-. Observe the same polarity convention throughout
the system. Connect the cable shield or common to the
SHLD COM terminal.
DMX - RJ45 Connection
Refer to the chart below for wiring pinouts for the RJ45
connector. The RJ45 is manually switchable between
an ESTA standard DMX pinout and a pinout suitable for
Philips Solid-State Lighting (Color Kinetics) products
using RJ45 connectors for DMX input.

ETHERNET
All network wiring should follow standard Ethernet rules
and be installed by a qualified person. As part of the
installatin, all wiring should be certified under the TIA/
EIA-568 standard.
